Where are you looking? FreeBMD isn't fully covered for that era, you need to be looking at the full GRO indexes.

Ive had a quick look on the complete index (go over to tips board and read Tips for Newbies).

No Cicely Harris born in 1926 but there is a Cicely J Harris with mother surname Saunders born in 4th Quarter of 1927 Pershore 6c 239.

Is that likely to be her? Who did she marry/where/when?

Hi Danielle
If you are following up your other thread re: Cicely/ Sylvia Harris then she may have been registered Sylvia C Harris in Oct- Dec quarter 1926, mother's maiden name Rolls.
